The Central African CFA Franc (XAF) is the official currency used across six Central African nations: Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon.
Issued by the Bank of Central African States (BEAC), the modern series features updated designs that highlight the region’s cultural identity, economic development, and natural resources.
Current XAF notes incorporate advanced security features, refined colour schemes, and detailed illustrations that reflect the shared economic and monetary union of the Central African Monetary Community.
These notes form the primary legal tender across all six member states.
Exchanging your XAF notes is simple and secure.
Enter the amount you wish to exchange into your wallet and proceed with the exchange, and everything will be handled quickly and efficiently.
Before the introduction of the latest enhanced‑security series, the Central African CFA Franc went through several earlier designs issued by BEAC.
These older notes often feature different colour palettes, earlier portraits, and traditional layouts that have since been replaced.
Although no longer used in everyday transactions, many of these withdrawn notes still retain redeemable value.
At Thecurrencycounter.co.uk, we accept a wide range of outdated and withdrawn Central African CFA Franc notes, including early BEAC issues, transitional designs, and denominations no longer seen in circulation.
